Chapter 138: Rapid Development

This time, the Flying Eagle Village was exterminated, and the results were huge.

This time it was not only the property of the Flying Eagle Village that was seized, but the property of other robbers was now also gathered in the Flying Eagle Village, and basically all of them were served by Xiao Yu.

Those gold coins alone, according to statistics, were more than 40 million, which made Xiao Yu's heart almost stop beating with excitement.

The days of poverty are finally over.

In addition to this money, all kinds of treasures are also countless, Feiying Village has been robbed for hundreds of years, how much has been accumulated, what antiques, what rare items, including some magic items are piled up.

Although many of them were destroyed by the fire, most of them remained. Because Xie Saburo dug many caves or cellars in order to preserve these things, they are all completely preserved.

These things in Flying Eagle Village, all the carriages led by Xiao Yu sent the Lion King to pull them, and it took more than a month to pull them up.

In the future, the lion king will no longer have to worry about finances, the old housekeeper Xiao Hong looked at these things, and he couldn't close his mouth happily, and his hands kept trembling. Several sisters-in-law even stood at the door and waited, and when they encountered something they liked, they directly deducted it, and every eye was shining.

"Robbing this industry is really the best way to make a fortune."

Xiao Yu now feels like a nouveau riche completely, and suddenly won hundreds of millions of lottery tickets, and he was so excited.

In the past few days, Xiao Yu has nothing to do, so he goes out to take a look at the mountain of warehouses, and he can't wait to sleep in it every night.

With money, there's a lot that can be done below. Mu Huali and others suggested expanding the scale, recruiting troops, and building one more city.

But after Xiao Yu thought about it, he still vetoed it. Now, although the situation in the world is very unstable, it has not yet reached the point of chaotic wars.

At this time, too large a scale of expansion, on the one hand, there is not enough talent, it is difficult to effectively manage, and on the other hand, it will inevitably cause other people to covet it.

The so-called muffled sound makes a fortune, and what the Lion King wants to do now is to continue to recruit people, only more people can build a territory, and the second is to hoard strategic materials such as grain and grass to plan for the future situation.

Xiao Yu plans not to build large-scale cities for the time being, but to develop more small cities such as villages and towns, and raise more militias, so that when there is a real war, they can be quickly pulled up, and they don't have to bear such heavy military expenses in peacetime.

So, in the next nearly half a year, Xiao Yu led people everywhere to exterminate the remnants of the bandits, and completely wiped out this northwest place, and some people who were wandering around were also willing to join him.

Do the math, Xiao Yu has been in this world for more than a year, and he has completely pacified this northwest land, and he can be regarded as young and promising. After all, this is something that Xiao Zhantian wanted to do but couldn't do.

Xiao Hong and Long Hui were both full of emotion, thinking of when you were Xiao Zhantian famous, but he died depressed, they couldn't help but feel sad, and they were very relieved to see Xiao Yu so promising.

After more than half a year of development, the population of the Lion King Territory has reached millions, which is many times stronger than at the beginning.

However, although the population is large, there are still few talents in all fields. It's not something that can be trained in a day and a half.

Although the military academy founded by Xiao Yu stumbled and encountered many problems, it still cultivated a large number of junior officers.

These are all veterans who have participated in battles, and they are more intelligent, and they were given the title of first-class civilians by Xiao Yu, and they can become lower-level officers.

Because of the unequal status of nobles and commoners in this era, it is still difficult for commoners to become nobles or high-ranking officers.

There was no way, Xiao Yu came up with such a title of a civilian of several ranks, which was divided into five classes.

The fifth, lowest-class commoners, as well as slaves, had no status.

The fourth class belongs to ordinary civilians, who have no rights, but just honestly farm, just like civilians in other territories.

The third level is upward, and some special permissions are gradually given, such as entering a military school, becoming a junior officer, or becoming a territorial government agency.

Each level of improvement is accumulated by people who have created some contribution points to the territory.

At the beginning, Long Hui and the others didn't figure out what the intentions of these civilians were, so they didn't stop them. After these civilians finished classifying, Xiao Yu gradually gave some authority to the first-class civilians, and Xiao Hong and Long Hui realized that something was wrong.

But at this time, it has been implemented for such a long time, and it is impossible to change it back. And Xiao Yu is also justified, they are still civilians now, they are just civilians of a higher class, and civilians of a higher level naturally give more privileges.

These privileges did not infringe too much on the interests and status of the aristocracy, and at the same time solved the problem of insufficient officials at the grassroots level.

Any civilian, can improve their status by increasing merit points, these merit points accumulation methods include, military merits, donating food and other materials to the territory, creating any special small inventions, how many apprentices have been taught, etc., in a word, encourage military merit, encourage farming, encourage invention, encourage production.

Driven by Xiao Yu's policies, the labor enthusiasm of the people in the territory has increased unprecedentedly. But now they have the right to use the land for a few years, and all the grain belongs to them, so naturally they get up early and work late, and they don't want to work.

Changes in the mode of production and distribution play the most critical role in improving the labor force.

And Xiao Yu's implementation of the system of several classes of civilians, so that these farmers donated all the surplus grain and exchanged it for success medals, so that they could obtain a higher status, so that their children could enter military schools or serve in government agencies, and now, Xiao Yu did not need to spend a penny, and accumulated a large amount of food.

In war, food is the most critical strategic material.

Stockpiling grain first, and then becoming the king, this is a trick played by all the emperors who compete for hegemony in China.

The territory is now basically stable, the population is increasing, and Xiao Yu has begun to improve the system step by step, and he is not too anxious to go out to expand.

Xiao Yu set up a roadcard at an intersection in the territory, and began to collect taxes on merchants leading to Yunmeng, the establishment of these roadcards is very simple, directly let people build a row of wooden fences, and then every other section of the road, a second-level guard tower is placed.

With such a momentum, ordinary people would never dare to break through.

Xiao Yu also established a small town not far from this roadblock, and set up hotels, bars and other facilities that adventurers like, so that they could stop here and replenish supplies.

At the beginning, there were many merchants who were very disgusted by Xiao Yu's random road card charges here, and some powerful caravans had some backgrounds, and even threatened them.

But Xiao Yu didn't care, and directly transferred a hundred orc infantry, and if anyone didn't accept it, they would be killed, and all things would be confiscated directly.

After a few times, no one dared to make trouble anymore.

Because they found that Xiao Yu is not a bird at all for any force and any background.

After thinking about it, they gradually understood that this northwest place is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is not much power, even if it is some large principality, it is impossible to hit him.

Xiao Yu is an earth overlord, naturally fearless.

These taxes have brought huge benefits to Xiao Yu, and the income of the territory has gradually been enriched, and it is no longer the weak appearance it used to be.

After everything was settled, Xiao Yu was thinking about killing Karui and them when he had time.

If you have revenge and don't take revenge, this Karui almost killed him at the beginning, and he also led troops to destroy the Lion King, which is really unforgivable.

In the past, Xiao Yu's soldiers were relatively small, and they were not suitable for siege warfare, and it was a complete accident to take the Flying Eagle Village, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Kalu's territory, and it was not so easy to take down the city, so Xiao Yu never started a war.

Now, as his strength gets stronger and stronger, Xiao Yu also dares to do this kind of siege warfare.

That's all for these two chapters today, and the following plot has entered a turning stage, and you need to think about it.
